Investigators were able to gather several images of the SUV on various surveillance cameras around the city. Over the two-week investigation, they say they were able to identify Nicholas as the driver.

Simmons was the cousin of Ben Simmons, the No. 1 pick in this year's NBA draft.

After the fatal crash, Ben Simmons wrote in a Twitter post: "Hearing the news this morning is a reminder to never forget the important things in life."

Police say they're investigating what Nicholas was doing in Hoboken that night.
